Heyuri Downtime │ │ Heyuri, Ayashii, and Vidlii have been down for several days; │ │ apparently, a rival network is DDOSing them. Kaguya said they are │ │ currently switching hosts and the network should be back up in a few │ │ days. │ │ │ │ A member of #heyuri reports the following on 2023-01-03 at 03:06: │ │ │ │ < tsubo> Those BitView faggots DDoSed VidLii, which took down Heyuri │ │ (and Ayashii to an extent) along with it. │ │ │ │ As an unrelated note: World2ch.net is still up, which I had assumed │ │ before was part of the Heyuri Network (formerly Kolyma) but apparently │ │ it is not. │ │ │ └─■ 🕑 3. │ │ It seems that Heyuri is back up, while ayashii remains down. │ │ Some more commentary on recent downtime comes from #heyuri: │ │ │ │ < Flair> Kaguya said Heyuri is down because the server host don't want │ │ to deal with reports │ │ < Flair> some others said it's because Vidlii was attacked and Heyuri │ │ got caught in the middle │ │ < Flair> both can't be true (or at least i hope not) │ │ │ ├─■ 🕑 4. │ │ │ A development from https://cgi.heyuri.net/chat/ │ │ │ │ │ │ ★ bobo (14 year old male chimpanzee) │ │ │ > I don't know whos targeting Heyuri. But according to some credible │ │ │ sources an islamist fundamentalist group is behind the attack on kaguyas │ │ │ turkish imageboard.....

On January 1st, the servers were DDoS'd - kaguya implied that it was │ │ related to Kereste (Turkish imageboard hosted on the same servers), but │ │ I'm not sure anyone really knows. Neither kaguya nor "bobo" has │ │ mentioned VidLii once in regards to this, so I'm not sure where that │ │ rumor came from │ │ │ │ 2. Kaguya contacted the server host for assistance and received a │ │ response stating that the required technicians weren't available until │ │ the 2nd due to it being New Year's Day │ │ │ │ 3. Many hours later/the next day, kaguya got hit with a service │ │ termination email. The stated reason was along the lines of "copyright │ │ breaches and unlawful content", plus something about requiring "too │ │ much resources" (as in, the server host didn't have enough staff/ │ │ patience/desire to deal with all the reports, complaints, etc.) │ │ │ │ Kaguya said their claims were bullshit since they hadn't received any │ │ requests from the server host in 2 months, and most of the past │ │ problems were related to soyjak.party (which had moved elsewhere ages │ │ ago) │ │ │ │ Sidenote: Heyuri's new servers have been DDoS'd a couple of times │ │ already since coming back online │ │ │ └─■ 🕑 6. │ >but I'm not sure anyone really knows │ It shows up on CloudFlare when the traffic of a site dramatically │ increases, so I know for certain thanks to that system. │ │ There is one guy allegedly from the Gülen movement on kereste (He often │ talks about it and I believe he did show some proof too, but I'd still │ take it with a grain of salt) that sometimes attacks the site, though │ it's unrelated to the actual movement. He is technically savvy enough to │ have caused us trouble in the past, but he didn't claim this attack was │ his so far which is a bit uncharacteristic for him. │ │ >Many hours later/the next day, kaguya got hit with a service termination │ >email │ It came during the same day they didn't have technicians available, past │ 17 UTC. │ │ Also Terrahost dropped kiwifarms in july 2023 after hosting them for 8 │ months, so I wanted it to known that they are simply not an imageboard │ friendly host anymore. There are cheaper alternatives that seem to be │ more suitable to host questionable websites like ours'. │ │ Also see: https://www.heyuri.net/#news60 │ └─■ 🕑 8. return of kuz? │ KOLYMA (kuz) announces a return: http://kolyma.org/ │ │ Of course, the site is broken, and as of 2024-03-04 has not received the │ updates promised for 2024-03-01. (The copyright year is also incorrect) │ │ My friend has some reflection on this news: │ > idk what he's doing at this point, he got his massive audience with │ > soyjak.party, he created a whole fake history around himself, became │ > an "internet mystery" like he wanted, then faked his death.
